It follows 'two' and rhymes with 'refugee'

I am confused by another Baptist and Reflector story: C-N reverses enrollment decline; Union continues record enrollment that begins with the following:
Both (my emphasis) Tennessee Baptist Convention institutions of higher education had good news when final enrollment for the fall semester was tallied in Jefferson City and Jackson.
It would be naive on my part to think that the Baptist and Reflector would report on Belmont University's record growth... but that doesn't explain to me why Belmont is still listed on the TBC Institutions Page as one of three higher education institutions ( "Christian Education Institutions") affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention. Evidently math isn't a strong suit around the TBC, ministerially speaking.

Congratulations Belmont, Carson-Newman, and Union. I salute your efforts to grow (all three of you)!

Two pieces of homemade, steamy-hot, apple pie with a big scoop of ice cream on top. A perfectly delightful Baptist dessert... and not a bad metaphor for the TBC's three higher education institutions.
